I’m very proud to say that I’ve been made an Analysis Services Maestro! You can read the official announcement here:

If you’re wondering what this actually means, you can find out more here; in a nutshell, it’s something like a MCM for Analysis Services. The course itself was pretty tough and there was a lot of work involved in doing the labs, exam and case study, but I learned a lot (especially from Thomas Kejser) and it was definitely a worthwhile thing to do.
Congratulations also go to the other ten awardees: Ulf, Alberto, Greg, Darren, Dirk, Mick, Vidas, Marco, Harlan and John.
Awesome – congratulations Chris. The day the program was announced, I knew you will be one of the first!Well deserved and hope to meet you in person someday.

Of course, I’m not at all surprised but congratulations are definately in order. Many, including myself, have looked to you for direction and assistance and now the title is official. Thanks for your commitment and contribution to the BI community over the years.
Congratulations!

Congrats !
Congrats! This is an amazing accomplishment. I was lucky enough to make the cut for the v1.2 class that was held in Redmond…saying that the week + homework was intense is a vast understatement.
Congratulations!!!! Chris.
